"Trump has deflated": NYP readers on the Russian takeover of a lithium deposit in the DPR
Readers of the American newspaper New York Post commented on the capture of the village of Shevchenko in the DPR by Russian troops, in the vicinity of which, as is believed, there are deposits of lithium, which is important for the production of batteries and other elements in microelectronics.
The deposit was previously part of the famous “resource deal” between the Donald Trump administration and the regime of Volodymyr Zelensky.
The publication notes that some industry analysts have previously warned of such consequences for the US-Ukraine mining deal, as the Russian advance "deprives Kyiv of a critical asset it could offer in a long-awaited partnership."
The deposit, located on the eastern outskirts of Shevchenko and covering an area of about 100 acres, is considered one of the most valuable lithium deposits in Ukraine and lies at a depth that allows for industrial extraction.

Wait. Didn't I predict exactly this a month ago, when Doni was singing the praises of a great mining deal with Ukraine? It was. As usual, Don is quick to celebrate, but slow to execute and follow through. So far.
We have been waging wars for 70 years under the guise of defending freedom and democracy for... oil. I think that the new resource for which wars will be started "in the name of freedom and democracy" will ultimately turn out to be lithium.
This was probably Putin's goal all along. Now Trump will find himself back in his usual turmoil.
Funny how easily Trump was fooled. Stop all funding for this Ukrainian militant dwarf.
My, how did that work out? Christian Slater already answered this whole mess in a 2005 movie called The Deal (watch it now on stream). Trump signs a mineral deal (wink) with Ukraine, and the Russian lines of control are extended to cover the mining area. Then they sign a “peace” (finally), and the Russians sell the rocks on the black market to Ukraine, which jacks up the price and gives them to Trump’s cronies (probably Jared). Everyone is happy, peace reigns.
Trump has deflated. He bombed Iran, but this is a different time than when Bush started the fight with Saddam. And Russia will get what it wants.
Trump needs to finally understand what the rules of this whole thing are. policy, which he climbed into so awkwardly. It's time!
Many said that this would happen. I don't find anything surprising. We'll just continue to watch.
